After the flood of All Saints on November 1, 1570, much of the dykes around Harlingen were damaged. The then dictatorial governor of Friesland, Caspar de Robles (1527-1585), had the Frisians repair the dikes. The Robles Committee assembled an army of 3,300 dockers, divided into teams of 300 men under the leadership of a captain. The dike was rebuilt from 5:00 am to 6:00 pm and met strict regulations. According to ancient sources, there should even have been a gallows on the dike, which threatens the unwilling. The dike was divided into sections with piles. The executive committee of the "Five Pieces" decided on 18 July 1575 to distribute: De Robles received NLG 1400 for his work, NLG 352 for the President of the Court of Friesland and NLG 675 for the Commissioners. It was also decided by the Harlingers that a "masonry" should be placed on a pedestal of 12,000 bricks of the terminus on the dike. The dike was completed in 1575 and divided into two equal parts, the part north of Harlingen from the inner dams and the south of the city was obtained from the outer dams. In 1576, the monument was erected on the embankment of Harlingen (the oldest statue in the Netherlands), with a head to the south and a head to the north. The original Januskop from 1576 is located in the Friesenmuseum.
